I’d have a mite more sympathy for them if I didn’t remember how many of these people thought this was perfectly fine way to treat Sarah Palin eight years ago. I would never use those kinds of words to describe Hillary, but I’m perfectly comfortable describing the former Secretary of State as a corrupt incompetent serial felon and liar.

Bush For Clinton
Yes, this is indeed exactly why so many Republicans are supporting Trump, even though he’s a Democrat. More thoughts from Ed Driscoll. Someone should ask Papa Bush what he thinks about Bill Clinton’s history of raping women, and Hillary covering for it and attacking the victims.

Hillary is a one-woman war on honesty. But despite her corruption, incompetence and lies, she’s part of the Washington “elite,” so she’s A-OK as far as the Bushes are concerned.
Want To Understand Hillary?
Read Saul Alinsky (who was the subject of her college thesis that she tried to keep hidden for so long).
The American Left are the direct ideological descendants of the Puritans.

The Clinton campaign repeatedly overcharged poor donors. Doing her bit for wealth inequality.
How To Make A Spaceship
I just received a review copy of this new book
Hillary’s Birthers
The media’s hair is on fire over Trump’s claim that she started it back in 2008, but he’s right. No, of course she didn’t say it herself. That’s what she has sycophantic surrogates like Sid for.
Fifteen Years On
It’s hard to come up with anything new to say about 9/11, but in the midst of this insane election, I think that this picture could be viewed by many as a metaphor for America, and the overreactionary result was Donald Trump, a man manifestly unqualified for the presidency, whose disqualifying characteristics are exceeded only by those of his sickly, corrupt, incompetent, mendacious, felonious opponent.
I don’t think that Trump will prove to be the parachute that saves the nation — he’s far too ignorant and contemptuous of the Constitution (and much else) — but many do, and that is how he has gotten as far as he has, and may yet win the presidency. And if he does, I think that history will record that the seeds of his victory, for good or ill, were sown on a bright sunny September Tuesday in 2001, and the feckless response of the nation’s “leadership” through three presidential cycles since.

Falling man, falling presidential candidate.

I should note that one of the reasons I’m showing this picture is that too many people think we shouldn’t see it or be reminded, which gets back to the fecklessness of our “elites.”
“I Miss The Days Of White Rule”
A sad post about the state of “Zimbabwe.”
Socialism and tribalism are deadly, even murderous. They’re both specialties of the Left.
Getting Over “Apolloism”
I’m heading back to California tomorrow, for the first time in about six weeks (the longest I’ve been away from home since I moved back in 2009), but meanwhile, my long-awaited piece in The New Atlantis is on line.
[Update a few minutes later]
Sorry, that’s just a preview, unless you’re a subscriber. The full piece will be free on line in the future, but I’m not sure when.
Trump’s Lincolnesque Moment
I’ve been saying on Twitter that I’ve been waiting for years for a Republican to call out the Democrats on not just their historic, but current cynical racism and oppression of the black community that turns out to so reliably vote for them. I’m just sad that it took Donald Trump to do it. FWIW, I’ve never accused Trump of being either a racist or a bigot, but I do think that he is cynical himself in allowing racists and bigots to think he is.
Hillary’s America
I haven’t seen the movie, and I’m glad that it exposes young people who’ve been taught a false history (or little history at all) of the Clinton crime syndicate, and the vile racist nature of the Democrat Party, going back to its founding and continuing through today. But the Republicans have their own issues, and the notion that it’s unpatriotic to not be one is nonsense.
